Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, sustained an injury while traveling to Oslo to receive her Nobel Peace Prize. According to her spokesperson, Claudia Macero, Machado fractured a vertebra during a turbulent boat journey that was part of her secretive travel to the Norwegian capital.

Machado has been in hiding since she was prohibited from participating in Venezuela’s presidential election on Tue, Jul 24, 2024. Concerns for her safety were heightened due to ongoing threats from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Macero confirmed the injury but did not provide further information beyond what was reported in the Norwegian press.

Machado was examined at Oslo University Hospital during her stay in the city. Reports indicate that her journey included wearing a disguise and traveling in a small fishing boat to Curacao before flying to Norway.

Machado expressed concerns for her safety during the journey, particularly regarding US military activity in the Caribbean. Recent incidents involve attacks on similar boats, attributed to US efforts to counter drug smuggling operations.

President Maduro has accused the United States of attempting to orchestrate regime change to access Venezuela's oil reserves.

Despite her efforts, Machado was unable to attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Her daughter accepted the award on her behalf, highlighting Machado’s contributions to the Venezuelan opposition and her support for democracy.

Following the ceremony, Machado appeared publicly in Oslo, greeting supporters from a hotel balcony. Despite her injury, she engaged with the crowd, emphasizing her commitment to opposing Maduro’s government.

Machado remains a significant figure in Venezuelan politics, although she has been prohibited from electoral participation. Reports suggest she will remain in hiding while Maduro is in power.
